Prevention

Preventing the Introduction and Spread of Invasive Weeds – Videos from a workshop.

Prevention Best Management Practices – DVD based on our Best Management Practices manuals, covering movement, disturbance, planning and awareness for land managers and utility/transportation corridor managers. Available in our online store.

National Park Service Training

These videos were made possible by the expert knowledge generously provided by Cal-IPC instructors and supporters. Funding was provided by the California Department of Food and Agriculture and the USDA Forest Service, State and Private Forestry, through American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds. The equipment for filming was provided by the National Park Service’s California Exotic Plant Management Team and the Pacific Coast Science and Learning Center.

Non-Chemical Weed Control

In 2020 and 2021, Cal-IPC hosted a series of trainings for Non-Chemical Weed Control, funded by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation Alliance Grant Program. For virtual trainings, we recorded short video segments to demonstrate techniques. Workshops were based on research collected for the 291-page manual on BMPs for Non-Chemical Weed Control.

Herbicide Control Methods

Prior to the 2009 Cal-IPC Symposium, Cal-IPC hosted a Wildland Weed Field Course titled Herbicide Control Methods. Cal-IPC partnered with the National Park Service’s California Exotic Plant Management Team and the Pacific Coast Science and Learning Center to film this training and make it available on-line. The following videos are presented in the order that they were instructed throughout the day.
